How to add a pin to the Expat Directory

Click on the ADD PIN button below, and then on the logo that corresponds to the part of the Directory to which you want to add your pin. Fill out the form that follows with the required information. Try to make your information as accurate and complete as possible.

Place your pin on the map by entering the address and clicking ‘Show on map’.The pin should appear where you intended it to be, but if it’s a bit out, you can adjust it by clicking on the correct location.

Then write in a short description of the pin, upload some photos or videos if you have them, and select up to eight tags to describe your pin. Users will use the tags to search the Expat Directory, so choose the ones which are most appropriate. You can create one tag of your own if it doesn’t feature in the list.

When you’re done, click ‘Submit’. Pins added to the World’s Best Places to Live go live immediately; all other pins are submitted to the Telegraph Expat team for editorial checking and approval, and will usually be sent live to the site in less than a week.
